Sundal | Karamani Sundal with step by step photos. Finally I am sharing the
last one of the Sundal series, it is the cowpeas sundal .It has no fancy
ingredients and less soaking time compared to the other varieties. Now let’s
see how to prepare Karamani Sundal.

1.Soak the Cowpeas in water for
about 3 hours .After soaking in a pressure cooker add in the soaked Cowpeas
and along with immersing level water and salt and cook for 4 whistles wait
till the pressure is released.

2.Open the cooker and drain the
excess water and set the cooked cowpeas aside. Now heat a pan add in oil once
it becomes hot add in Mustard seeds and Urad Dal, let them splutter

3.Next add in the Hing, Dry Red
Chilli and Curry Leaves. Fry for a min and add in Sundal Podi and the required
Salt , Check and add salt if necessary (as we have already added salt while
cooking the cowpeas)

4.Next add the cooked cowpeas and
mix well and saute for 2-3 mins.

5.Finally add in freshly grated
coconut sauté for 2 mins and switch off the flame.

Notes:

·This is a no onion no garlic
recipe.

·Perfect for the Navratri
fasting and evening snacks.

·You can soak the cowpeas
overnight.

·If you don’t prefer a spicy
version you can skip the Sundal podi.
